As a big-old nerd, I spend a lot of time in the terminal on my computer. When you spend a lot of time somewhere, you want it to be comfortable. As a part of making my terminal more homey, I've set it up to give me a random quote each time I start a new session, delivered, of course, by a cow. Here's today's cowsay of the day:

At the start of the pandemic, I had just begun a relationship with an artist who had the occasional gig doing a bit of nude live modeling.
[![A wiggly vector ice cream cone with a wee smiling face and colorful sprinkles. The cone is holding two smaller ice cream cones in its long, wiggly arms, one of which is wrapped around its body.](/img/doodle.webp "Not my ex")](/img/doodle.webp)
When he invited me to join a session via zoom, I was apprehensive. Drawing has never been my strong suit. I can *doodle,* but I can't *draw.* But hey, I thought, I'm not completely devoid of artistic skill. I *have* been doing design work for years; while graphic design is not art, it's at least art-adjacent. Hell, when I sit down and take my time, I can produce something that's downright fridge-worthy!
[![A crude oil pastel ocean-scape featuring a sunset. Wee boats bob about on the waves and little birds fly above them.](/img/pastel.webp "I'd put that on my fridge!")](/img/pastel.webp)
Prepared to do my best, I settled down with my laptop, some pencils, and a pad of paper. What I was not prepared for, however, was how quickly the poses would change. There I was, expecting a good chunk of time to carefully render my new boyfriend in loving detail, only to have the pose end before I'd even managed an outline! And so I changed my strategy: I decided to prioritize *speed.* That didn't work either. Here are some of the results:
[![A very speedily drawn cat, with what I think is my ex behind it. It looks like a sack of potatoes.](/img/quicklydrawncat.webp "I'm fairly certain this was supposed to be his cat.")](/img/quicklydrawncat.webp)
[![This drawing, honest to god, looks like a rotisserie chicken with a perm.](/img/chicken.webp "I really don't know what happened here.")](/img/chicken.webp)
After much scribbling, I did begin to improve, eventually turning out this:
[![A half decent drawing of what is quite clearly a human sitting on the floor.](/img/notbad.webp "I stopped while I was ahead here.")](/img/notbad.webp)
I put the pencil down after that.
